Review: Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles (Nintendo Switch 2)

I know I’m late with writing this review. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, otherwise known as “the remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics” was released while I was away in Japan, and it’s been enormously difficult to catch up, given that I’ve needed to prioritise the new games, also releasing like a broken dam right now. However, that’s a me…

Review: Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake (Nintendo Switch 2)

The HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III went down really well with players and critics, so it was perhaps inevitable that Square Enix would give the same treatment to the first two titles in the trilogy. Wisely packing them together (much as the port of Dragon Quest 1 and 2…

Hooray for good news! Utawarerumono is back, with Aquaplus announcing that Monochome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten will be getting a global release.

Atlus/News/trailer

Atlus is pushing full steam ahead on the hype train for the upcoming Soul Hackers 2 (to launch on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC – but no Switch – on August 26 worldwide). It has released a nine-minute video that will “teach you how to be a Devil Summoner.” Basically, it…

Review: Legend of Ixtona (Nintendo Switch)

April 26, 2022

JRPG/Kemco/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

I knew what I was getting when I stepped into Legend of Ixtona. It is a Kemco game, after all, and that means Z-grade storytelling and the cheapest of presentational standards. However, as a life-long fan of tactics JRPGs, I wasn’t going to pass up on this one either. I…

On bringing Chrono Cross back: Developer Q & A

April 12, 2022

Interviews/Square Enix

Chrono Cross is one of the all-time great JRPGs. It was recently re-released as the Radical Dreamers Edition on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, and it remains an incredible game, as we discuss in our review. We recently had the opportunity to fire off some quick questions to the game’s…

Review: The Cruel King And The Great Hero (Nintendo Switch)

April 8, 2022

Nintendo Switch/NISA/Reviews/Uncategorized

Before I sat down to play The Cruel King And The Great Hero, I thought it was going to be in the same vein as The Liar Princess And The Blind Prince, a previously-published NISA title with a very similar aesthetic. That would have been enough for me. The Liar…

April 8, 2022

News/PQube

PQube is a publisher with a knack for finding quirky and interesting projects. Its latest, Super Bullet Break, might just be one of its most interesting. This “deck-building roguelike,” features a lot of super-cute anime girls, and draws inspiration from everything from rhythm games and dating games right through to…

Chrono Cross: Discovering a PlayStation 1 masterpiece for the first time in 2022

April 6, 2022

JRPG/Retro/Video review

Chrono Cross is an absolute masterpiece – check out our 5/5 review for a full analysis of the new remaster there. However, the original was never released in Australia, so this is the first time we’ve been able to play it (legitimately). In this video I talk about that – why…

Review: Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition (Sony PlayStation 4)

April 5, 2022

PlayStation 4/Reviews/Square Enix

This is the first time that Australians have been able to (legitimately) play Chrono Cross. So, if you’re like me and have never played it before, congratulations! It is the year 2022, and now you get to play one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. Chrono Cross is set…

eastasiasoft/News/Nintendo Switch

Compile Heart and EastAsiaSoft have announced a release date for what might be the most pervy game on Nintendo Switch. Seven Pirates H will release worldwide on May 12, 2022. Previously released in Japan only on the PlayStation Vita, this is a visually upgraded “ultimate” edition from Idea Factory. The…

Review: Relayer (Sony PlayStation 5)

April 1, 2022

Kadokawa Games/PlayStation 5/Reviews

Relayer is God Wars, but located in space. That comparison isn’t going to help you if you were one of the many people that unfortunately overlooked God Wars (and therefore missed one of the finest tactics JRPGs ever), but if you imagine a heavily narrative-driven fantasy adventure, backed by traditional…
